Stern Bait Rigging Station

The stern bait rigging station is equipped with a transom door, sink, livewell, cutting board and rigging bait

storage area. The sink is plumbed to the fresh water system and drains overboard. The bait storage area is

insulated and drains to the sink.

The livewell is supplied by a raw water circulating pump and drains overboard. Refer to the Raw Water System

chapter for additional information on the livewell.

Below Deck Fishbox

A fish box is located in the stern below the cockpit sole. It can be removed from the deck by grasping the

two handles and lifting up.

The fish box is drained by a macerator pump located in the bilge and activated by a momentary switch in the

rear of the cockpit near the stern bait and tackle rigging station. A momentary switch is used because the pump

will be damaged if it is allowed to run dry for more than 30 seconds. The fishbox should be pumped out and

cleaned after each use. Refer to the Drainage Systems chapter for more information on the fishbox drainage.

Transom Door

A transom door is incorporated into the rigging station and

livewell. The transom door should only be operated when the

boat is not in motion. The door must be latched in either the full

“OPEN” or full “CLOSED” position. Never leave the transom

door unlatched.

THE TRANSOM DOOR SHOULD BE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED WHENEVER THE

ENGINE(S) ARE RUNNING. NEVER OPEN THE TRANSOM DOOR WHILE UNDERWAY OR

IN ROUGH SEA CONDITIONS. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AN OPEN TRANSOM DOOR

COULD ALLOW A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER TO ENTER THE COCKPIT CRE-

ATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. OPERATING THE BOAT UNDER

POWER WITH THE TRANSOM DOOR AND GATE OPEN MAY ALLOW PERSONS TO FALL

OVERBOARD AND INTO BOAT PROPELLERS OR TO BE LOST IN OPEN WATER.

PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE TRANSOM DOOR FITTINGS FOR WEAR, DAMAGE OR

LOOSE FIT. ANY PROBLEMS SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY.
